Public destination charging plays a crucial role in the adoption of EVs, particularly for urban households where 60% lack access to home charging. The C50 bridges the gap between slow home chargers and ultra-fast highway chargers, making it an ideal solution for locations like retail centers, shopping malls, and urban parking lots. By integrating charging into daily routines, it allows businesses to monetize real estate assets while encouraging customer engagement.
Addressing Barriers to EV Adoption
Many businesses face challenges when providing EV charging, such as the mismatch between slow AC chargers and high-power daytime needs or the cost and complexity of ultra-fast DC chargers. The C50 resolves these issues by offering the right balance of charging speed and cost-effectiveness.
According to Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility, “The EV revolution has to go beyond drivers with access to home charging—it has to be for everyone. With the C50, we are delivering a solution that makes charging seamless and reduces technical barriers while making it profitable for destinations.”
A Profitable and Seamless Solution
The C50’s ultra-slim design and premium functionality bring EV chargers to the forefront of public spaces, transforming charging into a visible and valuable asset for destinations. Features like configurable cabinet designs and loyalty app integration make the charger adaptable to various branding needs.
Beyond its physical design, the C50 is a fully managed offering. ABB E-mobility handles setup, servicing, and asset management, allowing businesses to focus on core operations. With flexible service packages and revenue-sharing models, the C50 turns EV charging into a profitable venture with minimal risk.
